Lower fetuin-A, retinol binding protein 4 and several metabolites after gastric bypass compared to sleeve gastrectomy in patients with type 2 diabetes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Bypass of foregut secreted factors promoting insulin resistance is hypothesized to be one of the mechanisms by which resolution of type 2 diabetes (T2D) follows roux-en-y gastric bypass (GBP) surgery.

New insights on the protein-ligand interaction differences between the two primary cellular retinol carriers[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
The main retinol carriers in the cytosol are the cellular retinol-binding proteins types I and II (CRBP-I and CRBP-II), which exhibit distinct tissue distributions.
